A leading light cried shiny beautiful tears in the night
Joyful faces saw an hope lightening
Hard to explain, irresistible, fragile

But millions of hearts are dancing?

From Europe to Africa, from Oceania to America

We saw someone looking like the Messiah,
As a new Christ, maybe a new God,
He couldn't be only Human?

When Reason can't help us, when it gives in to deep weakness,
Then we cling to a beautiful poor hope
But he's just a man [X2]

Just a man?
Obama...Obama....Obama...Obama


Beautiful visionary, be the beast or be eaten,
Beautiful destiny, your courage impressed us,
And I want to believe,

and to keep this mirror that you showed to our awful world,
Because vultures are keeping an eye too
on the mixed man who challenged old-fashioned rules,

And secrets that were buried during centuries and taught to children,
Shall you change the deal, or my singing is misled !
I want your name to be carved on an eternal stele,

as big as our human illusions are,
because you're just a man [x2]
but such a beautiful man?


Obama...Obama...Obama...OBama!
